On a chilly home opening day, this was not the ideal way to treat the 8,901 fans in attendance, as the visiting St. Louis Browns (3-2) got the best of the Boston Americans (2-3) by a 5 to 4 score. A tough outcome that was impacted by the sloppy defense of Frank Chance and Danny Shay.

St. Louis starter Hooks Wiltse (2-0) picked up the victory, as he allowed 4 earned runs on 11 hits and 4 walks in his 160-pitch effort; Game Score 48. Noodles Hahn (1-1) was tagged with the loss after he permitted 5 runs (3 earned) on 11 hits and 2 walks in 8 innings of play; Game Score 47. Closer Jose Ramos covered the final inning in a scoreless appearance.

At the plate, Kip Selbach (3 for 5, Double, 2 RBIs), Charlie Babb (2 for 4, Triple, 2 Runs, Walk), and Bill Hassamaer (1 for 3, Run, Walk, 2 Stolen Bases) led the Browns. For Boston, Solly Hoffman (3 for 4, Triple, Run), Fred Clarke (2 for 4, 2 Doubles, RBI, Walk), and Danny Shay (2 for 3, Double, Run, RBI, Walk) hit the ball well.
